1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Microscopic animals are often thought to be widely distributed due to their small size and specific adaptations. However, evidences show that bdelloid rotifers in bryophytes exhibit habitat specialization, with species composition varying by microhabitat. This indicates that their distribution is influenced by complex ecological processes, warranting further research, particularly at the microscale. In this study, we tested whether species richness and composition of bdelloid rotifers differ across bryophyte species, forms, characteristics, and seasons to understand their ecological distribution and habitat preferences in limnoterrestrial environments. Bdelloid rotifers were identified and counted from bryophyte samples collected in April (low rainfall), August (moderate rainfall), and December 2022 (high rainfall) at Bang Burd Beach Forest, Chumphon Province, Thailand. The results revealed high bdelloid diversity, with 22 species identified, 14 of which are new records for Thailand, raising the known number to 30. However, species richness did not vary across bryophyte variables or seasons, with substantial overlap in species composition across these variables. Additionally, there was no strong habitat preference between bdelloid rotifers and bryophyte species. These results confirm a low degree of habitat specialization of bdelloid rotifers in tropical limnoterrestrial environments.
